Annotation

One goal of this paper is to test and assess corpus methods integration in applying discursive news values analysis (DNVA). An additional goal is to obtain insight into how a particular event – Hurricane Katrina – got linguistically framed as notable in large American news media outlets, thus adding to ecolinguistics.
